The Detroit Tigers obtained outfielder/third baseman Francisco Martinez from the Seattle Mariners and designated outfielder Quintin Berry for assignment to make room for Martinez on the 40-man roster.
The Tigers obtained Martinez for a player to be named later or cash considerations in a deal that will be completed on or before June 15.

Im disappointed Berry is gone. He should be on the team, not Don Kelly. He would fit a perfect role as a late game pinch runner. Much more serviceable than Kelly. Im sure he could hit what Kelly is right now...

This is a nice 40-man roster exchange for the Tigers. Francisco's former team (Erie) manager Chris Crohn and staff still oversees Erie's squad and may have already identified Martinez's recent hitting flaw.

My biggest question mark is where to play Martinez. (Overall) He was worse than Castellanos at 3B.
